Original poster

To want to give this woman a Look and a Word?

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 01/07/2019 18:37

Yesterday, DW, DD and DGS (22mo) were in the supermarket when DGS wandered off. They began searching in a mad panic, and DD asked another shopper if she'd seen a little boy dressed in xxxx. This woman looked her up and down, sniffed and said "Young mothers! Huh!" DD, frightened and on the verge of tears told her to fuck off if she wasn't going to help. Now, judging DD is not the question. The question is: would I have been justified in asking this...person what her problem was, and would she like a bigger one?

He was found a minute later. Luckily someone who wasn't up their own arse had realised he'd bolted, and was chatting to him.

Thoughts?

@CollaterlyS1sters glad its not just me thinking that.

Reading the OP previous posts he loves telling everyone how amazing he and how shit others posters husbands are.

think you could probably have shut down that nasty woman-with-head-in-arse with a lot more grace and harm than your OP here suggests.

He couldnt have, could he? Because he wasnt there.

It's like a load of mners have taken leave of their senses, all because a man is looking forward to having a grandchild

Am I missing something on this thread? A woman insulted a young mother who was out of her mind with fear but the CF woman should get a free pass? You sanctimonious twats that are berating this young mother must be absolute mugs who can't stand up for yourselves.

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum · 01/07/2019 20:54

Who berated the young mother?

MN is a weird place. Men are usually despised and there’s cries of LTB if some poor chap leaves the toilet seat up.

But bring on this idiot who thinks he’s some amazingly incredible forward looking husband, not to mention the first person in the universe to become a grandfather, banging on now about wanting to threaten a woman with violence ... and some posters are acting like he’s a hero

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum · 01/07/2019 20:54

Sorry that should say who berated her for being a young mother?

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/07/2019 20:55

Are you on glue Protein? I've been posting here for years under this name.

You appear to be accusing me of being a troll or sockpuppet.

Let's see what @MNHQ have to say, shall we?

Rainonmyguitar What thread are you reading, because your reply bears no relation to the replies on this one.

You cannot be serious. It's right there in the OP. Bloody hell.

OhTheRoses · 01/07/2019 20:57

Had I been the woman I'd have helped your dd track him down.
Had I been your dd I'd havecstayed focussed on looking
Had I been you I'd have been disappointed in my dd's behaviour.

Remembers finding lost child at Legoland. Me, DH, dd 5ish, ds 8ish. Child was 3/4ish. We looked after him, chatted, got his name and mummy's name. Waited for more than 5 mins where we were. Decided me and dd should take him to first aid/info point. Started walking with him, him in middle holdinemg mine and dd's hands - he was as happy as larry. Woman appeared and absolutely laid into us about what we were doing with her child. I was too speechless to even say, we found him and he was getting upset because he was lost so we looked after him and looked for you.

I'd have been distraught but I think I'd have said thank you and even in 2003 our dc carried a card and sticker with mummy's name and mobile in case they did get lost. I just thought the mother was an ill mannered haridan. I wasn't rude back.

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum · 01/07/2019 20:57

@boreofwhabylon I apologise if it's not true. But that what advance search shows.

And yes, I reported it to MN to have look

Ots very odd behaviours to link a previous posters thread telling them how wonderful they are. When they are posting about imagining scaring a woman and telling everyone 'what I would have done is tell her'

As though the whole world will listen to what he says because he is a man?

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum · 01/07/2019 20:59

You sanctimonious twats that are berating this young mother must be absolute mugs who can't stand up for yourselves.

So who is the you you are referring too?

Are you also imagining shouting at the woman too?

Rainonmyguitar · 01/07/2019 21:00

Rainonmyguitar What thread are you reading, because your reply bears no relation to the replies on this one

Yeah you're right my reply bears no relation to you lot, thankfully. Not an ounce of sympathy for a mother who thought she'd lost her child and was most likely terrified. Disgraceful.

MaeveDidIt · 01/07/2019 21:00

The women was a nasty self-righteous bitter bitch - and yes I would have told her to fuck off as well (and I am a much older mother).

ReggaetonLente · 01/07/2019 21:01

Gosh, I remember when your little bolter was born! Cant believe it's been so long!

Hi all,

Can we have a bit of peace and love, please?

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/07/2019 21:02

Well, I've reported it too Protein. As I say, I've been here for years, as has Disgrace

Rainonmyguitar · 01/07/2019 21:02

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum

Actually, I suggest you have another read like I just have. There's plenty of people that share my view.

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum · 01/07/2019 21:02

Not an ounce of sympathy for a mother who thought she'd lost her child and was most likely terrified. Disgraceful.

So first we were berating her, now we have no sympathy.

Doesnt sound like she needs sympathy. She dealt with herself.

What's odd is a grown man who is fantasizing about what he would have done and how he would have cause the woman bigger problems.

That doesnt strike you as odd?

IhateBoswell · 01/07/2019 21:03

Not an ounce of sympathy for a mother who thought she'd lost her child and was most likely terrified

Sure

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum · 01/07/2019 21:04

Actually, I suggest you have another read like I just have. There's plenty of people that share my view.

I cant see anyone berating her for being a young mum.

Do you need loads of others to agree with you, to back your opinion up? Why does it matter how many people agree with you?

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum · 01/07/2019 21:06

@BoreOfWhabylon great them my report wont mean anything will it.

I cant believe you think this is ok. Inagineing how he could have stepped in, gone over his daughters head and intimidated a woman.

Yeah, what a guy.

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/07/2019 21:06

@LilyMumsnet would you mind confirming on this thread that Disgrace and I have both been posters on MN for some years now please?

Rainonmyguitar · 01/07/2019 21:06

ProteinshakesandAntonsbum

No I think you're very odd in the extreme that you think people should be robots and not show their emotions when they're very scared. The woman deserved to be told to eff off. I'm absolutely sure that OP is not going to harm the woman but you carry on being dramatic.

Rainonmyguitar · 01/07/2019 21:08

Not an ounce of sympathy for a mother who thought she'd lost her child and was most likely terrified

Sure

You wouldn't be scared if you couldn't find your two year old child? That's strange.
